Journal ArticleDOI
Control arms in exercise training studies: transitioning from an era of intervention efficacy to one of comparative clinical effectiveness research
TL;DR: It is proposed that physical activity research transition from determining efficacy to determining efficacy depends on the underlying mechanism, namely, whether or not the activity is beneficial to health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computing a Synthetic Chronic Psychosocial Stress Measurement in Multiple Datasets and its Application in the Replication of G × E Interactions of the EBF1 Gene.
Abanish Singh,Michael A. Babyak,Beverly H. Brummett,Rong Jiang,Lana L. Watkins,John C. Barefoot,William E. Kraus,Svati H. Shah,Ilene C. Siegler,Elizabeth R. Hauser,Elizabeth R. Hauser,Redford B. Williams +11 more
TL;DR: An algorithm is provided to create a synthetic measure of chronic psychosocial stress across multiple datasets, applying a consistent criterion that uses proxy indicators of stress components, and is validated by observing moderately strong and significant correlations with the self‐rated and computed scores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loop diuretic adjustments in patients with chronic heart failure: Insights from HF-ACTION.
Marat Fudim,Christopher M. O'Connor,Hillary Mulder,Adrian Coles,Ankeet S. Bhatt,Andrew P. Ambrosy,William E. Kraus,Ileana L. Piña,David J. Whellan,Robert J. Mentz +9 more
TL;DR: The initiation or discontinuation of diuretic use over a 6‐month time frame was not associated with a difference in mortality, hospitalizations, exercise, or health status outcomes, but a dose increase in HF patients was associated with worse exercise and health Status outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tariq Ahmad,Emily C. O'Brien,Phillip J. Schulte,Susanna R. Stevens,Mona Fiuzat,Dalane W. Kitzman,Kirkwood F. Adams,William E. Kraus,Ileana L. Piña,Mark P. Donahue,Faiez Zannad,David J. Whellan,Christopher M. O'Connor,G. Michael Felker +13 more
TL;DR: In chronic HF patients with reduced ejection fraction, the marginal benefit of complex prognostic evaluations should be weighed against potential patient discomfort and cost escalation.
Journal ArticleDOI
